Why does cigarette get stinky after you re-lit them?

195 views

I’ve been smoking for awhile (dont try smoking, IT IS BAD) and many time when I have to snuff out the cig after a few puff to attend some matter. After light them up again, the taste, smell is accompanied by this stinky and sometime disgusting for a few brand. Why is that? Is there some chemical that get burnt away for the 1st time you light the cig?

When you light a cigarette, the heat of the flame breaks down some of the chemicals in the tobacco. This makes a gas that smells nice. But when you re-light a cigarette, that gas is already gone. So you just get the smell of burning paper and tobacco, which isn’t as nice.
